Greetings friends, I am new to SAGA and to genealogy, but my family is not.  My father, Richard R Weber, has done extensive research for decades on his ancestors and has published two books: Stoner Brethren and Stover Brethren.  He has gathered available information about my mother's side of the family, but not done much research.  She was Carol Jean (Roupp) Weber, from Hesston, Kansas, daughter of the Roupp, Troyer, Zimmerman, and Hess families.  I am interested in doing more research on her side of the family, which is what brings me to you.  I have started with the goal of finding the ancestors of John Zimmerman (1843-1923) and Catherine Zimmerman (1844-1883).  Not the easiest question to start with, since it involves research in Europe.  Their story is told in the Zimmerman Family Register by Milo Zimmerman, where there is no mention of their parents. I am trying to find copies of two publications that are referenced in the SAGA database, both by John Schmeekle (or Schmeeckle)  The two titles are: Descendants of Christian Zimmerman of Denzlingen (S23) Amish Zimmermann Immigrants to the United States in the 19th Century with all Known Amish Zimmermanns in Europe (S5) If anyone has any clues about where I could find a copy of these either to purchase or reference, I would appreciate the help!  Thank you, Rebecca Weber

The MHL has these Zimmerman books with some of them also located elsewhere. They are in-library use only. Fort Wayne also has an extensive Genealogy collection. We have nothing by Schmeekle.
